  1. Heist
    With yet another snappy script and a fiendishly clever story, Mamet leads us through this labyrinthine film with skill and wit. It's nothing terribly original, but it is a lot of fun.
  2. Mothering Sunday
    Another problem with the film is the pacing. The main story is interesting enough, but it just feels padded and stretched.
  3. I'll Be Right There
    There’s nothing spectacular about any of this, but it’s heartfelt and well done.
  4. Elf
    If you’re not a fan of Will Ferrell, you ain't gonna like this film. But if you think he's funny and you don't mind a sappy ending, this is a decent holiday flick.
  5. Shadow in the Cloud
    In surer hands, Shadow in the Cloud could have been a demented allegory about female empowerment; instead, it’s just demented, albeit damn entertaining. Here’s hoping Landis gets his head out of the clouds and writes something that casts lingering shadows next time.
  6. A League of Ordinary Gentlemen
    Geared to please audiences of all tastes.
  7. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
    May not be much more than a story about girlfriends growing up, and it's not going to score any points for edginess, but it's entertaining in a low-key, non-threatening kind of way.
  8. Young Ahmed
    Young Ahmed may be described as a coming-of-age story, a searing character study, a visceral tale of redemption, a critique of extremism and the society that seems oblivious to and/or helpless against such evil.

    Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
    Storywise, I’m good with the first two acts. It’s a new chapter in the series, and things have changed in the story. The world is evolving along with its primate inhabitants.
  10. Jurassic Punk
    Spaz does not break any ground in terms of style and technique. However, the main subject is fascinating all on his own, and his story is equally as compelling. The good, the bad, and the ugly are presented here for everyone to consider and draw their own conclusions about Spaz’s work and temperament.
  11. Becoming
    The important part about Becoming is not necessarily the facts you learn about Michelle Obama, but seeing her in action.
  12. The PianoTuner of EarthQuakes
    By the end of the 99 minute running time, there is a terrible sense of been-there/done-that. And for artists of the Quays' caliber, that is a huge mistake.

    Elio
    Elio is a complete misfire—an ambitious premise that never takes off.
  14. Occupation: Dreamland
    The greatest accomplishment of Occupation: Dreamland is showing those of us on the home front that it really is possible, Republican howling to the contrary aside, to support our troops without supporting the war itself.
  15. The Broadway Melody
    The film, directed by Harry Beaumont, is considered the first-ever musical, creating a template that is still followed nearly a century later.
  16. Mission: Impossible III
    Watching this movie is like sitting on your couch for two hours to catch a little network prime time: you may be mildly entertained, but damned if you’ll remember any of it five minutes later. On the plus side, you probably won’t care.
  17. Mystery Men
    At least the studio hired enough likable scene-stealing actors and comedians to carry the bloated carcass of this film over the course of two hours.

    Soylent Green
    A thought-provoking movie that is still relevant with the many environmental concerns that are out there now.
  19. The Public Image Is Rotten
    Record nerds be damned, The Public Image Is Rotten rises to the top of rock documentary filmmaking with a refreshing sense of candid storytelling only made possible by the genuine frankness of its subjects.

    Robot Stories
    I was hoping to be blown away, but was left feeling much like the iPerson in the "Machine Love" segment -- kind of cold.

    Instinct
    Messaging aside, there is such great nuance in both performances of Carice van Houten and Marwan Zenzari. You’re continually guessing their state of mind in a true psychological thriller manner.
  22. Suspended Time
    Audiences have grown so accustomed to nonstop thrills that the film does feel like a relic of sorts; they don’t make ’em like this anymore.
  23. American Star
    It’s artistic without being pretentious, thoughtful, and elegiac without treading into monotony, beautifully acted without drawing too much attention to its stars.

    Mary Poppins Returns
    If they had gotten the music right, it could have stood by the original classic.

    Hard Goodbyes: My Father
    Part of what makes the film engaging is the carefully nuanced performances Panayotopoulou gets from her actors. In particular, Giorgos Karayannis.

    Mickey: The Story of a Mouse
    It’s a fitting tribute to Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse and makes you long for a time when storytelling was someone just telling a story.

    Starve Acre
    I enjoyed its surreal tinge and the thickening atmosphere. However, I came away a little disappointed with the wavering tone, wondering if it this might have horror blockbuster legs if it were a little more even. As it stands, this is a fantastically enigmatic horror film done beautifully well.
  28. The Surrender
    Kudos to Max for conjuring genuinely unsettling, Boschian images with a limited budget.

    No Impact Man: The Documentary
    To sum up Beavan’s message, he’s not saying you should give up toilet paper. But you should give up what you can. Help any way you can. Do all you can.
  30. The Toxic Avenger
    The cast is perfect in every way, and each actor brings the right amount of silly and serious to their respective role. This might not be quite as good as Kaufman’s beloved property, nor as brilliant as the stage musical, which remains the definitive distillation of Toxie’s antics. Still, it is a damned fun time at the movies with enough nods and references to please even the most diehard of Troma purists.
